This session will be co-hosted by songwriter David Coggins, who will share with us his passion for Leonard Cohen's music. Together we will be exploring Cohen's lyrical and musical style to inspire new songs and ways of approaching songwriting.

During this session we will continue to explore Leonard Cohen’s lyrical and musical style to inspire new songs and ways of approaching songwriting. We will also be using stories from the museum’s collection, which are connected to Cohen’s lyrics, to further develop our new piece, touching on the themes of love, journeys and family.

Join us for some Matzah-making fun to mark Passover! Learn the art of home-made Matzah baking, which uses two very simple ingredients – flour and water. Try your hand at making it as fast as you can and see if you can keep the dough in motion. You’ll get to go home with some baked, crunchy treats!

Join us for a hands-on baking workshop where we’ll be making the delicious sweet treats, coconut pyramids! Discover why these tasty snacks are traditionally eaten during the Jewish festival of Passover as we explore stories from our collection. All ages are welcome!
